OOTD - Easter Sunday

Hej med jer,

(English below)

Her er mit outfit fra denne påske søndag, som jeg viste et sneak peak af i går. Nederdelen er ny og fra Monsoons mid season sale (i butikkerne, åbenbart ikke online endnu). Den er lidt kort når man sætter sig, men det må jeg leve med. Jeg er vild med den fine blå-grå bund og så er det jo ingen hemmelighed at jeg er lidt besat af gul pt. så den var jo et must-have i forårsgarderoben.

Hi guys, 


Her is my outfit from Easter Sunday, which I showed you a sneak peak of yesterday. The skirt is new and from the Monsoon mid season sale (in stores, apparently not online yet). It is a little short when you sit down, but I guess I will have to live with that. I love the bluish grey base colour and I guess it is no secret that I am obsessed with yellow at the moment, so it was a must have in my spring wardrobe. 

 Floral skirt - Monsoon // Yellow top - Jasper Conran @ Debenhams // Beige Cardigan - HM+ // Yellow clutch - Ebay // Brown tights - Tightsplease.co.uk // Beige pumps - HM

Jeg synes det var vigtigt at alle de andre dele i dette outfit matchede en farve i nederdelen. Jeg synes det medvirker til at gøre nederdelen til stjernen. Jeg kan især godt lide hvordan den gule top og clutchen fremhæver de gule detaljer i nederdelen.

I thought it was important to make sure that all the other pieces picked up one of the colours in the skirt. I think that really makes the skirt the star of the outfit. I especially like how the yellow top and clutch pick up the yellow accents in the skirt.

God påske. 

Happy Easter.

OOTD - Saturday night dinner

Hi guys,

This is an outfit I wore out to dinner on Saturday. I didn't really want to go all out to this fairly casual dinner, but a little sparkle is never bad, right? ;-) 

Striped cardigan - Debenhams // Silver skirt - H&M // Black top - H&M // Orange/Grey/Navy shoes - By Malene Birger // Silver Clutch - Accessorize

 

I immediately fell in love with this skirt when I saw it in my local H&M. The biggest size in stores is a Large (EU 44-46/UK 16-18/US 14-18) but sometimes I manage to squeeze into it anyway. On the H&M website though, this skirt is available up to an XL (EU 48-50/UK 20-22/ US 18-20) Shame on you H&M for not carrying XL in the stores.

I knew I wanted to pair it with a knit, preferably an oversize loosefitting knit, but I actually do not own such a sweater and so "settled" for my striped Debenhams cardi from last winter. I think it turned out quite well with the sparkly buttons and the shimmer stripes that picks up the silver of the skirt. And of course the orange in the shoes that complements the orange stripes in the cardi as well. The yellow dream bag of the moment would have been the icing on the cake! Most go buy it! ;-)
